(I’m the author) The only feature in the paid list that I’d agree with you on was support for building docker images. I thought it was silly to charge for <15 lines of nix code that do something so fundamental for a web framework, so I wrote this blog post and convinced the maintainers to make it a free feature.

Now I think the remaining stuff is fine, paying for a stripe integration and oauth libraries doesn’t trigger any alarms for me, personally.
